YAY! OK. I’ve made BB tempeh, and here’s my wisdom: DO NOT OVERCOOK THE BEANS! It’s incredibly easy to overcook the beans, and overcooked bean-tempeh is useless. They should still be slightly crunchy when you make the tempeh.

GEM cultures is VERY SLOW and rarely answer emails. But they’re the best I’ve found. Lately they tell me that they can’t even do spore in quantity, so I’m just buying the small packets. They do always send your order…but it takes a while.

awesome. i’ll place an order and cross my fingers that it comes in soonish. been dying to try and do this.

you start with dried beans and just undercook them right? i’ve grown other types of mushrooms before, and having overly-wet substrate definitely drowns the mycelium and does not allow it to penetrate into it in my past experience.
